When Wolf turns on you it's bad news.

(114,904 posts)He has the gall to say that the state department review wasn't legitimate and that it arose out of anti-Clinton bias.

(6,551 posts)Clinton and her aides have been questioned several times including various Republican-controlled House committees and the Justice Department wherein Clinton is waiting to be interviewed.
Good that Fallon pointed all of that out.
As for Colin Powell cooperating, he declined the request to provide all of his State Dept emails.

(10,559 posts)It's what happens when you screw up in Washington - lawyer up.
The funny part is that she thinks she doesn't need to be accountable to the different departments.
Oh, well. Indictments ought to clear up some of her confusion.

(29,265 posts)Wolf did a decent job here.
For those who don't have time to watch -- Clinton's reasons: "prioritizing" the DOJ review, questions raised about whether the State I.G.'s investigation was based on anti-Clinton animus. Also, that she did a good job under fire by the Benghazi rethugs' investigation.

(36,418 posts)The FBI report will be reviewed by the DOJ before it is released, but I doubt they'll dare mess with it. They could take their sweet time reviewing it though. In any case, I strongly suspect both reports will come out any later than a few weeks before the Convention. Have to settle things down and herd the cats before the delegates start voting.

(84,711 posts)that it was already Up to the Dept. of Justice where Hillary would need to appear.
Something is UP...just don't know quite what it is ...but, Fallon gave his interview very late this afternoon...EST.
He skipped over the FBI Investigation and went to the DOJ right away. Given he lied when the news broke yesterday about Hillary's Server from the SD-IG where he ignored it to reporters...with Spin...the difference late this afternoon was significant.

(11,990 posts)If this is the best they've got, it's worse than I thought.
Repeatedly saying "personal email" as if it were a synonym for "personal SERVER" is pretty pathetic.

(28,017 posts)the question asked, but rephrasing it and simply saying what you want to say?

(154,021 posts)I got my suspicions. The IG report though solidified that. I know I am ghoulish. But really that airplane now and all the time was a way to avoid it

(6,117 posts)The FBI investigation was far enough along that the DS IG report could be finished, with the IC one close behind. The interviews are mostly done, so a lot of the FBI's case has been revealed to those involved.
I think Clinton and her circle are rattled, pushing ahead while totally panicked inside. They do not have control of the situation.
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)I wonder how soon for the one on one with her lawyer

(19,053 posts)I remain dubious about a potential indictment, but it sure feels like something is coming down the pike.
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)But the tone media wise is very different. Hell, even NPR was talking with Zogby today about the platform committee... in a balanced way.

(28,876 posts)...if, ultimately, there wasn't evidence that her emails, and the classified info contained therein, ended up in very wrong hands.
KoKo
(84,711 posts)The FBI Confiscated the Clinton Foundation Server for the time period when Hillary was SOS.
Brian Pagliano (now under Immunity) set up the Server in Chappaqua for Clinton Foundation and Hillary set up her e-mail on that Server with her State Dept. Address and maybe other Address and Huma Abedin and a couple others corresponded through that Server (Set up for Clinton Foundation).
There maybe is much more that FBI has..but, is concentrated on Hillary's SOS E-Mails and that's what they are Going For....For Now.......?

(58,724 posts)It's up to the people posting the videos here to decide where they want to post from and link to.
NWCorona
(8,541 posts)The host is irrelevant as the video was purely CNN content.
oberliner
(58,724 posts)And why would that be the host you would use when posting?
Surely, they must be other options.

(58,724 posts)My more general point (and I wonder if you will agree) is that it seems like RW sources are used here at times, which is kind of odd.
